Solo 03:10
People buying and buying People blind And deaf To Crime And Death. People trying to hide Their pain. People learning From rain. Falling down, You belong To the ground. People saying Repeating I’m fine But I’m tired I’m lying Truth is so plain I am flying away. Falling down You belong To the ground. But I’m high I belong To the sky To the sky. I spread my wings And fly Goodbye.

And the Oscar goes to You Me Us all… Politicians, no way out Sexy boy scouts The internet Skilful apes, another rape Sausages of rage Tennis players Orange-flavored eternity Heavy Times. Shop-a-holics Work-a-holics The Titanic, my nickname People wearing uniforms Assault rifles Pop-corn-shaped unicorns Heavy Times. Broken hearts Windows, widows Cigarettes Global warming Global warning We’re getting used To living in these Heavy Times. Hello, hello You’re the new kid on the block. Are you ready? Now, tell me, What’s your pin number? What’s your phone number? What about an email address? What’s your password? Success no recess, What’s your email address? Excuse me, Are you ready? Are you ready? Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Hello? Hello? Exotic places Antibiotics HIV You and me Heavy times. We're getting used to Living in these Heavy times. We're getting used to Used to Used to Living in These Heavy Times!

I’m gone I’m done with lies It’s just a matter of time until you realize You you’re on your own I am alone Sun has to rise for nights to be so long… I don’t belong here anymore Maybe you’re right I never did Maybe it’s a trick but maybe it’s true You you’re on your own We are alone Sun has to rise for nights to be so long… I’m gone I’m done with lies It’s just a matter of time until you realize You you’re on your own We are alone Sun has to rise for nights to be so long…

Carsick 04:15
Oh my lungs Are filled with Disillusion I used to Breathe in Eternity... Oh I've hung All of my emotions On the wall Oh I'm a stranger To myself I'm used to being Strange On the verge of Insanity... Oh I've hung All of my emotions On the wall And I have been Carsick All my life ... And I have been Carsick All My Life...

And I know November comes When I hit the bottom of the end Sands and seas Are empty-handed And the rose bows / goes To the Wind. And I try to try To look Sun in the eye And I join the parade Another ghost in the parade. I am numb You are dumb And we see the Darkness bomb We don't fight No goodbyes We're the ones who believed in lies And I try to try To look Sun in the eye And I join the parade Another shade in the parade. And I join the parade Another ghost marching in the parade.

Meditations 04:57
Mixing Truth with Lies We're missing the days When Night was Light Perfection is a mere Reflection Ah... Oh... Start with the Stars Try to learn how turn A common vase into a Greek urn And then a guitar playing alone with the Moon A Monsoon Sweet Sad Serenade A Monsoon Sweet Sad Serenade Ah... Oh...

Equinox 02:53
Oh, I’ve tried so hard To prevent my heart From beating As fast as a train: I’ve tried in vain. Oh, the Mississippi Is flowing in my veins And when it rains My blood Becomes a flood. For every season There is a bomb. So many teardrops But we never stop. I’ve always thought All in all All the roads go to Rome. But if I should get lost Promise me, you’ll take me home.

Fire 03:26
Flames are getting higher My feet are burning I am getting blind My hands are on fire I can’t fly away Tears are not Rain My hands are on fire My heart hurts My skin burns. My hands are on fire Smoke is in my eyes. Flames are getting higher My feet are burning I’m getting blind My hands are on fire Tears and Rain Can’t stop the Pain. My hands are on fire My heart hurts My skin burns.

But 02:38
I take a deep breath But it’s just another waste of time. You smile and I smile back But it’s just another waste of time. I say goodbye But Death is just another waste of time. I take a look around But this is just another waste of time ‘Cause I know there’s no one here And this is just another waste of time. I close my eyes But Death is just another waste of time. I cross my fingers But Hope is just another waste of time. I take some pills But Health is just another waste of time. Then I disappear Life is just another waste of time.

The haze was thick The haze was thick The haze was thick The haze was thick I felt seasick And the ship Was going down. My gaze became A maze of lies You said: "please, Don’t look me in the eyes." And I see The ice Turning into sea I see the ice Becoming slowly Sea. My gaze became A maze of lies You said: "please, Don’t look me in the eyes." The haze was thick I felt amazed, The ship Was going down. And I see The ice Turning into sea I see the ice Becoming slowly Sea.

Let the Moon dance, dance, dance Let the Stars take a glance At the streets below Where we go, go, go. I was standing in the middle of nowhere With nowhere to go, I was standing tiptoes on a stool With a rope around my neck And I heard: Let the Moon dance, dance, dance Let the Stars take a glance At the streets below Where we go, go, go. I was crawling through mud Searching for the Grail, I was just another grain Of sand on the beach of Earth When I heard someone say: Moon, you can dance, dance, dance And Stars, you can take a glance At the streets below Where we go, go, go. Let the Moon dance, dance, dance Let the Stars take a glance At the streets below Where we go, go, go.

Offline 02:52
Go offline And shut the door Climb the mountain to get To the other side Ride a car to the stars With a note Stuck to the back of Your photograph Saying: "This is me but I am back now To myself". Are you sure you want to delete this post?

“Can I borrow Another day?” Asked Winter To Spring. “I'd like to stay”. And while I play my guitar I read sadness In the shadows Of stars. And may the wind cold Be my coat, My room wall Be my coast. I know I've never Learnt how To swim But I’m not afraid Of death by water. Only, how can it be That each year I find a new fear Under the tree? And all my wishes Disappear Or just turn into Some gloomy dreams. And may the wind cold Be my coat, My room wall Be my coast. I know I’ve never Learnt how To swim But I’m not afraid Of death by water.

Georgie 05:02
My heart is like a stone You don’t know How hard it is to Be me Sometimes I Cannot even breathe But I’m alive Think I can still fly high Will you catch me if I fall Tonight? Or if you don’t, Will you at least be there by My side When I collide with the ground? I'd like To see you again Before I die. My heart is like a car Only hitchhikers know How it feels to be Me Sometimes I Wish I could slow down a bit But here I am What can I say in my defence? Will you teach me how to fly Tonight? Or if you can’t, Will you at least teach me how To land? I know it’s hard to understand But I would like To see you Again. My heart is like a stone You don’t know How hard it is to Be me Sometimes I Cannot even breathe But I’m alive Think I can still fly high Will you catch me if I fall Tonight? Or if you don’t, Will you at least be there by My side When I collide with the ground? I'd like To see you again Before I die.
